Thanks for the videos mate you are doing a great job. You explain everything so well and are easy to understand. I love your work area lots of room to move, especially the bush in the back ground. Keep up the good work mate.
Awesome vid! I'm a recent subscriber, Oregon local, and run a Woodmizer LT40 Wide for a living milling reclaimed timbers. Keep up the good work sir can't wait for more content!👍
I've taken a couple time lapses just for fun. The latest project that I just finished up was re-sawing timbers for a reclaimed timber frame home👍been thinking about posting some content. Might have to give it a shot! I really wish I could have made it to the Woodmizer open that you filmed looked like a good time
I’m having a great time posting videos and reading the feedback from people! You might be surprised at the reaction you get. The open house was a great time. I missed it last year but I will definitely be back next year!
All the videos of yours that I have seen so far after work have been great. I feel your paint in regards to big infiltration and damage. Sometimes you just got start cutting and see what you get🤙looking forward to the open house next year for sure!
I ran a bandsaw at work for 3 years. there is a way to stand the blade up right on the floor and bend it. To fold it up or unfold it. Into 3 circles. You hold the bottom against the floor with your foot and one hand on each side and bend and flip. You get good at it ..no gloves ,no blood..LOL
a metal detector is smart insurance for used building timbers, i hope that have talked to whomever about extra costs when hitting metal. it can put the blade in a whole new geometry.
Excellent man! I do the exact same thing when swapping a blade out. It's funny, the guy that delivered my mill backed up in the very first cut and chowdered the doors and my belts. Thankfully, I had ordered extras prior to it arriving so... yeah.
Heck yeah! Thanks a lot for the mention! I really like seeing the client work your doing on the side. This the kinds of odds and ends that I am plugging away at out this way and its inspirational to see the hustle in action. Being able to make the utilitarian art that you do and earn a few shekels for it is great. Nice looking wood your salvaging there. I fantasize about the hidden lumber in old barns and under the lakes around here. That mill belongs to the farmer who I am working for and that shed is over at his place. I use the mill quite a bit but I fell like if I owned it I would be doing all kinds of inappropriate things with it. Trying to shape axe handles and the like. Thanks again for the nice words.
Most excellent video man! You have some pretty fine editing skills yourself- the fast time laps pulling the boards off the mill makes for great video. We are still working on our Maple project and will be in touch soon-too many projects and not enough time ... rob
hahaha!! they found something YOU could NOT hotrod!! I love it! takes some time for that blade to go thru THAT WOOD! maybe a lazer would be better? have to be a cold lazer. ha! you do nice work. very fast. BUT REAL good. please be careful, your family needs you!
Those are some huge beams, Nice job. Bus Huxley sent me his plans. I think I am going to saw up some ash to build it. Lot's of it on my farm that needs to be harvested before completely killed by the emerald ash bore. Great job editing. I have plenty of video, but just can't bring myself to take the time to edit and post. Your daughter reminds me of my granddaughter when she was that age....too cute.
Nice set up. It's always a risk cutting reclaimed timber. It doesn't matter how carefully you think you've removed nails etc, there's always one to destroy a blade. Done it loads of times. Keep on cutting. Regards, Ian.
I was wondering if you cut other people's wood and if so what is the ballpark cost? I see so many trees and large limbs going to the landfill that could be cut into quality hardwood for people to use building furniture and such. But I don't know of anybody that lives close to me that does such cuttings.
I don’t typically charge by the BF. Especially if I’m cutting on-site. If I cut be the BF, I’m responsible for production. If I charge by the hour, the client is and it tends to help things stay organized. If I show up and the logs are all over the place and there’s no place to set up my mill, it costs the client, not me.
Northwest Sawyer good day sir did you ever think about cutting quarter inch or 1/8 inch strips of cedar or other wood for canoe builders. Other than Cedar they use other shades of wood for decorative pieces then advertise it in such magazines as canoe builders would read. I thought of it because I had always wanted to build a cedar-strip canoe but now I am way too old and handicapped so that's no longer an issue. I hope this makes you a few extra dollars. God bless.
That sounds like a pretty specific material that I really don’t know anything about, Doug. I could certainly fill a request for some but as busy as i already am, it’d be hard for me to make and try to market a product that I’m not being asked for. Thanks for the the comment! Have a good day!
Northwest Sawyer I got you right maybe got the reference wrong but it’s you though . As soon as You were mentioned I clicked over and subscribed. I have been on the channel for hours now. Really like the content .
Thanks, Kevin. I think you must be talking about the Ben’s Sawmill channel. He made a video for me a while back to help me get my channel out there. It looks like it worked! Stay tuned!
Northwest Sawyer That wasn’t you on that one I’m really interested in the sawmill so I’ve been on a lot of channels and somebody recommended your channel I’m glad they did. Just wish I could remember who.
Northwest Sawyer Yep! It was give a guy a leg up video. I have UA-cam Red so I can minimize go to another channel when it gets recommended and subscribed then go back to the original without ever losing audio. I’m a truck driver so I often listen in black screen then watch and like later on. I consider it paid research to just drive and listen to people who are doing what I hope to do which is to be in control of my life and live free . I’m learning so much about how to earn money from your channel. Im parked for the night and bout to watch again.
They’re actually called Bi-Metal blades. I did a video on them a few years ago and they do work great when metal is an issue. Very spendy for every day use though.
What is it about sawdust and children they seem to go together like salt and pepper. I remember as a kid getting taken by dad to a wood joinery yard and playing in the large pile of sawdust and shavings cheers NZ.
The hydraulics run off of a 12v motor powered by a battery mounted on the saw. The saw has to be running to charge the battery but you can still use the hydraulics for a period of time.
This is great! Thanks so much for the video. Obviously location and skill and equipment will affect cost, but can you give a ballpark estimate of how many hours the project takes and a ballpark estimate of your price to the customer?
I’m figuring 5-6 hours of sawing time. Probably anther 5 hours of handling. Pulling nails, moving lumber shipping. I’ll receive $1,400-$1,800. Probably a few blades at around $25 a price will be used.
If you want to look at another milling video, look up Mathiew Creamora and you might enjoy it... I do watch him along with you. Hope you enjoy as much as I do your videos. THANK YOU MUCH...
If you watch the previous video, I explained that the beams are severely twisted and that angle is the result of how it sat on the deck for the original cut.
This was definitely twisted. Since I’ll be squaring the edges anyway, I decided to balance the twist the best I could and what I end up with is what I end up with. I enjoy the challenges of working with materials like these.
Just an idea but you might want to invest in a microphone because I cranked my volume up to full blast and could barely hear you. Can't wait for the commercial to kick in and deafen me. :D
nails...yea they can make it expensive runnin a mill if the young ones was little older you could put them on payroll pullin nails save some time there
This saw mill couldn't be cheap.It doesn't seem like this could pay for it self very quickly if ever. If your building yourself a house it would be justified, but not for just a few hundred dollars a month. The more you use it the more maintenance, more brake downs am I wrong I hope so? Of course only optimists make good entrepreneurs.
I have a video explaining how I ended up with this mill. It wasn’t cheap. As far as paying for itself, I’ve managed to draw nearly half of the purchase price in the 7 months I’ve owned it, in my spare time, without advertising. You’d probably be surprised by the versatility and earning potential of a machine like this.
This wood has no paint. The beams I sawed that I was worried about in another video I did at a different location. I don’t bring any of that stuff home. I’ve been through 48 hours of HAZWOPR training. Lead is no joke.
yea, just watched the other video of yours, had that on my mind. keep making nice video's. I just purchased a used all hydraulic TimberKing B20 for $6,250 , cutting trees to make a garage next year.
There are few things more satisfying than listening to a Kohler engine run. Bus has some really great content. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the videos mate you are doing a great job. You explain everything so well and are easy to understand. I love your work area lots of room to move, especially the bush in the back ground. Keep up the good work mate.
Thank you very much, Peter!
That comment about the blade, I don’t know how people change table saw blades without gloves on either.😂 nice video mate.👍🏻
Great work, thanks for sharing. Well done for mentioning other channels, best of luck . Dave in the UK .

Thats an awesome mill. Myself I got a chainsaw mill. Latest video I made was on milling lumber. Have a great weekend, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden
Well I need to check that out!
I like when you reuse reclaimed lumber good job
Thank you, Kirk! Check out the finished product.
AMAZING craftsmanship!! reclaimed wood paneling ua-cam.com/video/_SutZEgj_WE/v-deo.html

Thank you!

I’ve seen this technique. I haven’t mastered it but I can use a table to start the loop.

Any time, Bus Huxley. I really enjoy your channel and according to responses I’ve gotten, I’m not alone.

Thanks, Ian! We do our best!
Looks like a great job, cute helper you have there. Well done my friend!
Thanks, Mike! She can't stay out of the sawdust!
That lath and plaster bark is tough stuff on those square logs.
Luckily most of if came off on the square log truck!😬
Wonderful, thanks
I was wondering if you cut other people's wood and if so what is the ballpark cost? I see so many trees and large limbs going to the landfill that could be cut into quality hardwood for people to use building furniture and such. But I don't know of anybody that lives close to me that does such cuttings.
Most of what I cut is for other people. It depends on the job but typically it’s $65 an hour for soft woods and $85 for hardwood.
Do you ever charge by the board foot? If so,how much ?
I don’t typically charge by the BF. Especially if I’m cutting on-site. If I cut be the BF, I’m responsible for production. If I charge by the hour, the client is and it tends to help things stay organized. If I show up and the logs are all over the place and there’s no place to set up my mill, it costs the client, not me.
Ok. That makes sense. Thanks.

I saw you helping the guy make his own 5 foot wide sawmill. I like the little $700 chainsaw mill to get started
I think you may have me confused with someone else.

they make carbide tipped blades for your saw that do not suffer from nail hits
They’re actually called Bi-Metal blades. I did a video on them a few years ago and they do work great when metal is an issue. Very spendy for every day use though.
I too watch both of them. Good stuff
How deep does your metal detector go when looking for nails?
It’s a pretty inexpensive metal detector. The nail has to be pretty close to the surface but it has found nails that I otherwise wouldn’t have seen.
That cutie at the end is precious 😁.
She loves the sawdust 😍
I take my hat off to you that is a hard way to make a living . But I'm going to get me a small sawmill this fall
You won’t regret it, Doug!
What is it about sawdust and children they seem to go together like salt and pepper. I remember as a kid getting taken by dad to a wood joinery yard and playing in the large pile of sawdust and shavings cheers NZ.
My daughter can’t stay out of it! I built a sand box for my kids and I think she’d sleep there if I’d let her!
Cool video really like what you are up to.
Thanks, Lars! Stay tuned. I’m just getting started!
Did your metal detector not detect that nail? I'm looking for a reliable metal detector for my milling but unsure.
It works pretty well. Very well for the money. It's saved several blades for me.
hi, how are you able to use the hydraulics to load and position the beam without the motor running
The hydraulics run off of a 12v motor powered by a battery mounted on the saw. The saw has to be running to charge the battery but you can still use the hydraulics for a period of time.
Northwest Sawyer
thanks good luck with the shop
Can't your blades be re-sharpened?
They can as long as they aren’t damaged.
Well did the nail damage them too much or were you able to salvage them?
I haven’t taken them in yet to see. I have a box of new blades to use for now.
Good stuff. Did you figure in a few extra blades in your quote since those are full of nails?
James I did. I planned on four blades total. Hopefully I can do a better job of spotting the next one.
This is great! Thanks so much for the video. Obviously location and skill and equipment will affect cost, but can you give a ballpark estimate of how many hours the project takes and a ballpark estimate of your price to the customer?

Damn! I wish I could move that fast!
If you want to look at another milling video, look up Mathiew Creamora and you might enjoy it... I do watch him along with you. Hope you enjoy as much as I do your videos. THANK YOU MUCH...
Thank you, MaryAnn! I have seen his videos. His mill is amazing.
Good video. Hope you will revisit when the project is finished, ❤️.
Thank you! I will definitely get at least some pictures of the wood installed.
GOOD JOB i like it really well !
Thank you, Bobby!
Good job what do you use for your editing ?
Thanks, Larry. I'm using Final Cut Pro X. It's an Apple program.
I love your wood
YOUR FIRST BEAM LOOKED OUT OF SQUARE, OFF TO ONE SIDE, DOES IT JUST LOOK THAT WAY
If you watch the previous video, I explained that the beams are severely twisted and that angle is the result of how it sat on the deck for the original cut.
DIDNT SEE THEM TILL LATER, THANX FOR AN ANSWER THOUGH
Shims can often be used to correct an out of square beam. A twisted beam however is significantly more difficult to fix.
This was definitely twisted. Since I’ll be squaring the edges anyway, I decided to balance the twist the best I could and what I end up with is what I end up with. I enjoy the challenges of working with materials like these.
My wife and I really like your videos! Also, I like that long sleeved Carthartt. Where did you get it?
Thank you! I got this shirt a few years ago at a store called Costal Farm and Ranch.
Just an idea but you might want to invest in a microphone because I cranked my volume up to full blast and could barely hear you. Can't wait for the commercial to kick in and deafen me. :D
Check the volume at the bottom left of your UA-cam screen. Or send me $600 for a good wireless mic😆
nails...yea they can make it expensive runnin a mill if the young ones was little older you could put them on payroll pullin nails save some time there
A couple more years, jeff. Right now they’re just overhead😬

cant hear it!
wouldn't recomend your little girl playing in the sawdust with lead paint.
This wood has no paint. The beams I sawed that I was worried about in another video I did at a different location. I don’t bring any of that stuff home. I’ve been through 48 hours of HAZWOPR training. Lead is no joke.
